Management of gastric cancer in Asia: resource-stratified guidelines

TLDR
This work aims to provide a stepwise strategy for management of gastric cancer applicable to different levels of health-care resources in Asian countries, using the categories of basic, limited, enhanced, and maximum level.
Abstract
Summary Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer globally, and is the second most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. About three-quarters of newly diagnosed cases in 2008 were from Asian countries. With a high mortality-to-incidence ratio, management of gastric cancer is challenging. We discuss evidence for optimum management of gastric cancer in aspects of screening and early detection, diagnosis, and staging; endoscopic and surgical intervention; and the concepts of perioperative, postoperative, and palliative chemotherapy and use of molecularly targeted therapy. Recommendations are formulated on the basis of the framework provided by the Breast Health Global Initiative, using the categories of basic, limited, enhanced, and maximum level. We aim to provide a stepwise strategy for management of gastric cancer applicable to different levels of health-care resources in Asian countries.

Prognostic Autophagy-Related Model Revealed by Integrating Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data and Bulk Gene Profiles in Gastric Cancer

TL;DR: This autophagy-associated risk model was capable of distinguishing the worse prognosis of patients with gastric cancer and exhibited the lower expression of immune checkpoint markers than the low-risk group, which indicated the potential predictive power to the current immunotherapy response in patients with GC.

Ubiquitylation of cyclin C by HACE1 regulates cisplatin‐associated sensitivity in gastric cancer

TL;DR: HACE1‐mediated ubiquitylation of cyclin C sheds light on a better understanding of cisplatin‐associated resistance in gastric cancer patients and is a newly identified substrate of HACE1 E3 ligase.

Efficient isolation and proteomic analysis of cell plasma membrane proteins in gastric cancer reveal a novel differentiation and progression related cell surface marker, R-cadherin

TL;DR: A fundamental membrane proteome database for gastric cancer is established and R-cadherin is identified as a tumor differentiation and progression-related cell surface marker of Gastric cancer.

A functional polymorphism of SSBP1 gene predicts prognosis and response to chemotherapy in resected gastric cancer patients.

TL;DR: This study presents the first evidence that SNP rs6976500 G allele genotypes might contribute to GC prognosis by attenuating SSBP1 promoter activity and gene expression, and provides the guidance in refining therapeutic decisions of GC patients.
